Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

Here is the LAPD telling ICE to GTFO of Dodger Stadium. The only reason they came was to start a riot. What they got was the boot. More of this, California.

I watched a screener of this from PBS — it airs next week. Highly recommended. www.pbs.org/wnet/america...

What Eisenhower said over 70 years ago is even more true today.

Tulsi Gabbard says the problem with our leaders today is that they think they’re God, they want to control everything, and they are obsessed with money, power and attention.

NEW: ProPublica has sued the FDA, accusing the agency of withholding information about the safety and availability of generic drugs critical to millions of Americans.

Holy crap! Why would they remove sign language interpreters!

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most. With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for families—particularly those in low-resource areas—has never been more important.

How much deeper into physical and mental decline must Trump descend before elected Republicans grasp they have a duty to their country?

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

The pardons he sold took money from the victims — from their pockets (and ours) right into his.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

Our freedom to live without government-sanctioned religion is central to the First Amendment.

Acosta: He can try to roll tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue and all of that—Hegseth can show up in a camouflage tie he got at the Gap—but at the end of the day, the real American strength, the real American might that was on display over the weekend, was in those No Kings protests across the country.

Next protest. Put on your calendar. SVP at goodtroubleliveson.org. Volunteer if able.

It’d be a slap in the face for Congress to expand tax loopholes for Big Pharma companies that are making billions while overcharging Americans. These companies should be held accountable for prioritizing profits over people.

He's going to war with Iran. He's putting pressure on his political enemies, arresting some The media has sold itself out to him and pretty much repeats the talking lines ok'd by the White House He disappears people in unmarked vans.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right. (1/2)

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

Look, I don’t much care what Tulsi Gabbard says either, but here’s the thing: I didn’t appoint her to be my Director of National Intelligence.

I was literally taught my whole life that if someone in plain clothes and a mask tries to detain you and refuses to identify themselves, you call 911 and you’re absolutely within your rights to not comply for safety reasons. What’s happening is kidnapping. Full stop.

Q: "Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon." Trump: "I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to having one."

This is an insurrection.

Bluesky is dying... or Bluesky helped create one of the most effective spontaneous protest movements of the year?

My poor Kyiv. This night, I've stopped counting explosions when it's go to 10 because my psyche was in a total shutdown. I can't explain this horror. When you hear UVA above your head and in a second — explosion. All night long. In my district are the most severe casualties. #Ukrainianview

Tucker Carlson says Fox is a propaganda network that manipulates their mostly elderly audience.

Marge calls Fox News “propaganda” that “brainwashes” people into supporting wars (Tucker said this yesterday also)

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

You gotta love it. E. Jean Carroll trolling the Oval Office criminal on X.

Trump says mass deportations are urgent—but not if they mess with his donors’ pockets. ICE was told to back off farms & hotels 'cause it was bad for business. But LA and Chicago? Open season. Please be for real—this is the weaponization of government against cities that refuse to bow down to him.

A lawmaker and her husband were murdered. A senator and his wife nearly killed. The suspect had a hit list. And what did we do? We blamed each other. We justified. We spun. Political violence isn’t coming—it’s here. And we’re normalizing it. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/political-...

we are living in the golden age of scamming and grifting

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?
